VA - Real Side Records Presents Soul On The Real Side #4 (2015)

Another selection of soul – both Modern and Northern, vintage and classic – Soul On The Realside 4 picks up where previous collections left of with another twenty tracks that map the varied landscape making up a niche of today’s soul scene. Bobby Womack’s emphatic ‘Let Nothing Get The Best of You’ kicks things off in fine style, Ron Shy’s sublime ‘Don’t You Know’ is classy while Celeste Hardie’s ‘You’re Gone’ is a faultless northern dancer. Lack Of Afro’s ‘Recipe For Love’ is a modern day northern soul styled dancer, Brand New Funk (from 1978) tackle Boz Scaggs’ classic ‘Lowdown’, Walter Thomas performs his own ‘Hold Onto The Blues’, Billy Kean’s southern crossover ‘Somebody Please’ is a joy while Spanky Wilson’s mid tempo ‘The Love That A Woman Should Give A Man’ is a great way to end.
